What Causes Itching Sensation All Over Body After Taking Succinylcholine?
I had surgery 10days ago and I am itching everywhere. I was given succinylcholine. My body did not handle it well, and I experienced a spasm. Is it possible the itching is related? How long does it usually last? I am taking Benadryl and that does help.

Hii ,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here
Succinylcholine is not a ordinary drug and it can only be used under supervision of a medical doctor
itching might be an indication of allergic reaction caused by drug
are u taking any other medicine with it ?? if yes than that might be the culprit too
if you are experiencing severe itching along with other symptoms like shivering , rashes or breathing issue you should immediately contact your surgeon to have a look into it
I Hope It help
